Community for Public Schools feeds Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School Staff

This initiative is part of an effort to help make their lives easier.

The CPS identified three schools where the staff could use extra love and provided free lunch.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School district

Community for Public Schools (CPS) is looking for restaurants and groups to provide free meals to Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools staff members.

CPS is a group of parents, teachers, and other community members advocating for students, educators, and families in Forsyth County.

So far, the organization has teamed up with restaurants including Bobby Boy, Brothers Pizzeria, Burke Street Pizza, Camino, Dinners on the Porch, Downtown Thai, Jimmy John’s, Mellow Mushroom, and Xcaret to provide food for Carter High School, Philo-Hill Magnet Academy, and Easton Elementary School staff.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Winston-Salem is also sponsoring a lunch.

“Community for Public Schools supports filling our teachers’ cups as a community,” said Valerie Lecoeur Brockenbrough from CPS. “We need to take care of them so they can be the best teachers they can be.”

If you know of any charitable organization that would like to contribute a meal, email Wendy Parker.
